Default Re: Derusting a flywheel.

I googled 10105117 head gasket and found some really good info on this composite gasket. I think I may have what I need there. I believe the quench will be where it needs to be and definitely under .050.

If it has heat cracking, you do not want to reuse. It completely changes the molecular structure of the steel.

Don't know how much of that is true but I have seen some sad looking flywheels in my day resurfaced with no problems. Maybe for a street car it would be fine but I think in a race engine it may be questionable.

yes heat cracking comes back. have to resurface as deep as possible to cut some of that out. I never had a problem with resurfaced flywheels.

I haven't looked at the flywheel in about a year and to be honest I don't think it was very bad at all if I can remember. It's just covered with that typical rust look when something sits out in the humid air. I don't even think it has ever been cut before. How would anybody tell if it has ever been touched?
